We’re getting calls every hour.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Alonso said sheriff deputies are investigating the missing persons reports but that those investigations are made difficult by the ongoing blazes making some locations inaccessible.

A wildfire in Trione-Annadel State Park in Sonoma County moved into a residential Wild Oak neighborhood of Santa Rosa late Monday night forcing residents to evacuate.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Santa Rosa has imposed a curfew inside its mandatory evacuation area until 7:15 a.m. on Tuesday.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Schools across the region are \u003ca href=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/news/2017/10/09/napa-sonoma-county-fires-find-evacuation-centers-school-closures/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">closed on Tuesday\u003c/a>, including all public schools in Sonoma County and the Napa Valley Unified School District.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>\u003cem>Updated 7:45 p.m.\u003c/em>\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Vice President Mike Pence appeared outside Sacramento today, and pledged federal support for the firefighting effort and recovery.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“We just learned today of 10 people having lost their lives,” Pence said. “The fires are going to continue.

But weather forecasts indicate winds should subside over the next few hours, Pimlott said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Fourteen large fires were burning north of San Francisco, prompting Gov. Jerry Brown to declare a state of emergency in Napa, Sonoma and Yuba counties. It was unusual to have so many fires take off at the same time, fire officials said, though October has generally been the most destructive time of year for California wildfires.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Authorities have also expanded evacuations in Southern California’s Orange County because of a fast-moving wildfire.

He said firefighters are concentrating on saving lives rather than battling the blazes.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>He said winds whipped up to 50 mph overnight fueling the blazes, but said weather forecasts indicate winds should subside over the next few hours, slowing their forward progress.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>He didn’t have an estimate on the number of people hurt and missing.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The California National Guard has deployed six helicopters and 100 personnel to assist Cal Fire, according to Maj.

Santa Rosa is now under an emergency order, and officials have enacted a curfew from 6:45 p.m. until dawn.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>\u003cem>Updated 5 p.m.\u003c/em>\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Fires burning in Napa, Sonoma and Mendocino counties have claimed 10 lives, according to a Cal Fire spokesperson.

State fire officials warned that early estimates of the dead and wounded were bound to climb.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The flames were burning “at explosive rates” because of 50 mph winds, said Ken Pimlott, director of the California Department of Forestry and Fire Protection. But weather forecasts indicate winds should subside over the next few hours, Pimlott said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Fourteen large fires were burning north of San Francisco, prompting Gov. Jerry Brown to declare a state of emergency in Napa, Sonoma and Yuba counties. It was unusual to have so many fires take off at the same time, fire officials said, though October has generally been the most destructive time of year for California wildfires.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Authorities have also expanded evacuations in Southern California’s Orange County because of a fast-moving wildfire.

He said firefighters are concentrating on saving lives rather than battling the blazes.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>He said winds whipped up to 50 mph overnight fueling the blazes, but said weather forecasts indicate winds should subside over the next few hours, slowing their forward progress.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>He didn’t have an estimate on the number of people hurt and missing.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The California National Guard has deployed six helicopters and 100 personnel to assist Cal Fire, according to Maj.

The heat, lack of humidity and wind are all driving a very dangerous situation and making it worse,” Brown said. “We are getting mutual aid from local counties and other parts of the country. … This is serious business, we are watching it, and it is not under control by any means.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>More than 200 people were hurriedly evacuated from two Santa Rosa hospitals threatened by the wildfires that erupted overnight.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Lisa Amador, a spokeswoman with Sutter Health, said around 9 a.m. that Sutter Santa Rosa Regional Hospital had finished evacuating the last of more than 80 patients in surgical, labor and emergency care.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>She says the hospital is sending staff home.

We’re looking at everything from hotels to what rental properties may be available, to opening an old resort — the Konocti Harbor [Resort], to also putting manufactured housing on the ground.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The fire’s confirmed \u003ca href=\"#jump\">death toll\u003c/a> rose Wednesday morning when the Lake County Sheriff’s Department announced the discovery of a fourth body in ruins left by the fire.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Our hearts and minds and prayers go out to all of them,” Lake County Supervisor Jim Comstock said, “but we are very encouraged there are not more of them at this time. Our communities will rebuild.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The county expects to lose $2.1 million in property tax revenue per year. The total cost of the fire is, of course, much higher.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“It’s conceivable and realistic that the cost overall when you take in loss of revenue, response cost and everything, clearly is in the hundreds of millions of dollars,” Ghilarducci said. “We don’t have an exact figure yet.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Officials candidly described a fire that moved too quickly to control, with initial firefighters and other first responders on the scene quickly shifting from fighting the flames to attempting to evacuate communities in blaze’s path.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“We’re past the preparing for fire now,” Cal Fire Director Ken Pimlott said. “It’s now being ready to go. People have to have evacuation plans in place. This fire spread miles just within a few hours.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Some residents likely didn’t know they should evacuate until the fire was upon them, officials said, despite notifications sent via reverse-911 calls, among other methods.\u003cbr>\n\u003ca name=\"jump\">\u003c/a>\u003cbr>\n“I don’t think people understand how rapid and how violent this fire was,” Lake County Sheriff Brian Martin said. “In some cases those phone lines were burned down before the messages were delivered to people.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Update, 10:45 a.m. Wednesday, Sept. 23:\u003c/strong> Officials in Lake County say they’ve found an apparent fourth victim of the Valley Fire.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The Lake County Sheriff’s Office \u003ca href=\"https://local.nixle.com/alert/5497628/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">reported Wednesday\u003c/a> that searchers had discovered human remains in the community of Cobb, one of the areas the fire roared through shortly after it started the afternoon of Sept. 12.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The office said the victim is presumed to be Robert Taylor Fletcher, 66, who was last seen the day the fire started and was reported missing several days later.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Deputies are still trying to locate another missing man, identified as Rob Litchman, 61, a resident of the Siegler Springs area near the town of Lower Lake.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Cal Fire reported Wednesday that the 76,000-acre blaze is 80 percent contained. The firefighting agency also gave its latest report on the number of structures destroyed in the blaze: 1,238 homes and 672 outbuildings.

An estimated 585 homes and hundreds of other structures have burned.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The fire in Amador and Calaveras counties has burned 110 square miles.

The second victim was a 65-year-old man who refused to heed a mandatory evacuation order, says Raggio. He declined to identify the second man, saying the family hasn’t been notified.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Authorities say they are now using dogs to search for several other people who may have been killed in that fire.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Cal Fire \u003ca href=\"http://cdfdata.fire.ca.gov/incidents/incidents_details_info?incident_id=1226\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">reported\u003c/a> this morning that the fire now stands at 73,700 acres, with 35 percent containment.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Yesterday, the \u003ca href=\"http://www.sfgate.com/news/article/PG-E-power-line-may-have-sparked-deadly-Sierra-6509980.php\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">San Francisco Chronicle reported\u003c/a> that a power line coming into contact with a tree may have sparked the Butte Fire, which has now burned more than 71,000 acres.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“While we don’t have all the facts yet, a live tree may have contacted a PG&E line in the vicinity of the ignition point,” Barry Anderson, PG&E vice president of emergency preparedness and operations, said Wednesday to the Chronicle. “We are cooperating fully with Cal Fire in an investigation of whether this could have been a source of ignition for the Butte Fire.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Update, 3:00 p.m. Wednesday, Sept. 16:\u003c/strong> A second life has been claimed by massive wildfires that swept through Northern California this week. The Calaveras County Sheriff has confirmed a fatality resulting from the Butte Fire, according to an update posted on Twitter by Cal Fire public information officer Daniel Berlant. More information is expected soon. The Butte Fire has predominantly impacted Calaveras County, and was 45 percent contained as of the most recent update. So far, the Butte Fire has destroyed just over 400 structures.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Update: 1:30 p.m., Wednesday, Sept. 16:\u003c/strong>\u003cbr>\nThere are currently 14,000 firefighters across the state of California battling 10 active blazes, Cal Fire spokesman Daniel Berlant said in a Wednesday update. But crews are making progress.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The Valley Fire, which has already been designated as the most destructive wildfire in 2015, has caused one known fatality and scorched about 100 square miles, with more than 600 structures damaged in the blaze. That property toll doesn’t include barns or sheds that went up in flames along with homes burnt to the ground.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“When all the other outbuildings are assessed and a full damage assessment is complete, it is likely that this fire will be in \u003ca href=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/news/2015/09/16/valley-and-butte-fires-are-among-californias-most-destructive-blazes\">the top five most destructive fires\u003c/a> that we have seen in our history,” Berlant said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Firefighters are making progress, thanks in part to cooler temperatures — the Valley Fire was 30 percent contained as of Wednesday morning. At the same time, another weather-related factor was working against their efforts. A number of hot spots continue to smolder throughout the fire zone, and these small fiery patches can be reignited by gusty winds. Those powerful gusts can spur flare-ups and threaten to reverse firefighters’ progress in bringing blazes under control.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Farther to the east, in Calaveras and Amador counties, firefighters were also making progress in gaining control of the Butte Fire, which has scorched 71,780 acres and already ranks as the state’s 14th most damaging blaze. The Butte Fire now stands at 45 percent containment.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Throughout the affected areas, thousands of people who have been put up for days at evacuation centers are still waiting to return.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“There are still thousands of residents who have been evacuated from this fire,” Berlant said of the Valley Fire. “Many are asking when can they get back home, and we are hoping to get them back just as soon as possible. But you’ve got to remember, there are a lot of hazards.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Update 4:15 p.m., Tuesday, Sept. 15:\u003c/strong> The Valley Fire has caused at least $1 million in damage to California’s largest geothermal energy complex.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The fire disabled five cooling towers at \u003ca href=\"http://www.geysers.com/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">The Geysers\u003c/a> network of power plants, northwest of Middletown.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Brett Kerr, a spokesman for Calpine, which runs the plant, said the fire may have also left it isolated from the power grid.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Some of the non-Calpine-owned transmission lines that deliver the power that is produced to the Geysers to the actual market were also damaged, so while there might be the ability to generate capacity and energy at the Geysers, it may not be able to make it to the grid,” he said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Officials who manage the grid say damage at The Geysers will not have a significant impact on the state’s energy supply.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Meanwhile, the \u003ca href=\"http://www.sfgate.com/news/article/Valley-Fire-apparently-started-near-home-in-Cobb-6506658.php\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">San Francisco Chronicle is reporting\u003c/a> investigators are focusing on a burned-out shed in Cobb, where the fire started, in trying to pinpoint the cause of the conflagration.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cb>Update: 2 p.m., Tuesday, Sept. 15:\u003c/b>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>At this morning’s fire briefing, medical officials cautioned firefighters to watch out for signs of stress.

And that is making other health conditions worse.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“So many folks in this area are really affected by chronic illness,” Townsend says, especially diabetes and high blood pressure. Because people were evacuated so quickly, many didn’t have time to grab medications.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Certainly in these settings their blood sugar and blood pressure are already rising just from the stress of the occasion,” Townsend said. “Without adequate supplies of their medicines, that can cause acute symptoms like feeling shaky, nausea, sometimes dehydration.”\u003c/p>\u003c/blockquote>\n\u003cp>People have also been worried about their pets.

Ruzicka said it is already, by far, the most destructive to people’s livelihoods.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“It’s difficult for us to come to full staff right now because so many of our people are either under evacuation notices or have lost their homes,” Ruzicka said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Cal Fire has yet to publish any official data on the number of structures damaged or destroyed by the blaze, but reports are coming in and it looks bad.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“I have seen some destruction in and around the Middletown area,” said Amy Head, a spokeswoman for Cal Fire.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“There are parts that I couldn’t even make into myself,” Head said from Hidden Valley, another community under evacuation orders.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Residents who fled from Middletown told the Associated Press the cars they were driving dodged smoldering telephone poles and billowing smoke as they left.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The blaze is believed to have started on Cobb Mountain, an area that normally gets lots of rain. The drought has obviously changed that.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“For a fire to spread from there all the way to where it is now is very unprecedented,” Head said. The lack of rain, Saturday’s strong winds, and the area’s low humidity and hot temperatures were all factors that helped the fire spread so quickly.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>More than 1,000 firefighters are battling the blaze. Cal Fire says getting more of them to the scene is difficult.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“We’re having to place orders for additional resources,” Head said. “We are spread pretty thin throughout Northern California with the other fires, so we’re having to pull resources from wherever we can.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The fire has sent ash and smoke miles away. “It almost looks like Bay Area fog, we are so socked in with this smoke,” Ruzicka said from Lakeport, about 25 miles northwest of Middletown. “This morning when I woke up, my car was covered in ash.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The Red Cross has set up two shelters: one at Kelseyville High School at 5480 Main St. in Kelseyville and another at the Napa County Fairgrounds at 1435 N. Oak St. in Calistoga. According to the Red Cross, a community meeting is planned at the Kelseyville site at 2 p.m. and at the Calistoga one at 5 p.m.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Update: 8:40 a.m.:\u003c/strong> From the Associated Press\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Gov.

We’re looking at everything from hotels to what rental properties may be available, to opening an old resort — the Konocti Harbor [Resort], to also putting manufactured housing on the ground.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The fire’s confirmed \u003ca href=\"#jump\">death toll\u003c/a> rose Wednesday morning when the Lake County Sheriff’s Department announced the discovery of a fourth body in ruins left by the fire.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Our hearts and minds and prayers go out to all of them,” Lake County Supervisor Jim Comstock said, “but we are very encouraged there are not more of them at this time.

The total cost of the fire is, of course, much higher.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“It’s conceivable and realistic that the cost overall when you take in loss of revenue, response cost and everything, clearly is in the hundreds of millions of dollars,” Ghilarducci said. “We don’t have an exact figure yet.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Officials candidly described a fire that moved too quickly to control, with initial firefighters and other first responders on the scene quickly shifting from fighting the flames to attempting to evacuate communities in blaze’s path.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“We’re past the preparing for fire now,” Cal Fire Director Ken Pimlott said. “It’s now being ready to go.

An estimated 585 homes and hundreds of other structures have burned.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The fire in Amador and Calaveras counties has burned 110 square miles.

That property toll doesn’t include barns or sheds that went up in flames along with homes burnt to the ground.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“When all the other outbuildings are assessed and a full damage assessment is complete, it is likely that this fire will be in \u003ca href=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/news/2015/09/16/valley-and-butte-fires-are-among-californias-most-destructive-blazes\">the top five most destructive fires\u003c/a> that we have seen in our history,” Berlant said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Firefighters are making progress, thanks in part to cooler temperatures — the Valley Fire was 30 percent contained as of Wednesday morning. At the same time, another weather-related factor was working against their efforts. A number of hot spots continue to smolder throughout the fire zone, and these small fiery patches can be reignited by gusty winds. Those powerful gusts can spur flare-ups and threaten to reverse firefighters’ progress in bringing blazes under control.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Farther to the east, in Calaveras and Amador counties, firefighters were also making progress in gaining control of the Butte Fire, which has scorched 71,780 acres and already ranks as the state’s 14th most damaging blaze. The Butte Fire now stands at 45 percent containment.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Throughout the affected areas, thousands of people who have been put up for days at evacuation centers are still waiting to return.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“There are still thousands of residents who have been evacuated from this fire,” Berlant said of the Valley Fire. “Many are asking when can they get back home, and we are hoping to get them back just as soon as possible. But you’ve got to remember, there are a lot of hazards.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Update 4:15 p.m., Tuesday, Sept. 15:\u003c/strong> The Valley Fire has caused at least $1 million in damage to California’s largest geothermal energy complex.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The fire disabled five cooling towers at \u003ca href=\"http://www.geysers.com/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">The Geysers\u003c/a> network of power plants, northwest of Middletown.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Brett Kerr, a spokesman for Calpine, which runs the plant, said the fire may have also left it isolated from the power grid.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Some of the non-Calpine-owned transmission lines that deliver the power that is produced to the Geysers to the actual market were also damaged, so while there might be the ability to generate capacity and energy at the Geysers, it may not be able to make it to the grid,” he said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Officials who manage the grid say damage at The Geysers will not have a significant impact on the state’s energy supply.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Meanwhile, the \u003ca href=\"http://www.sfgate.com/news/article/Valley-Fire-apparently-started-near-home-in-Cobb-6506658.php\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">San Francisco Chronicle is reporting\u003c/a> investigators are focusing on a burned-out shed in Cobb, where the fire started, in trying to pinpoint the cause of the conflagration.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cb>Update: 2 p.m., Tuesday, Sept. 15:\u003c/b>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>At this morning’s fire briefing, medical officials cautioned firefighters to watch out for signs of stress.

Dr. Colleen Townsend, a family practice doctor in Napa, is helping to staff the makeshift medical center inside one of the buildings on the fairgrounds. She says anxiety is one of the main complaints. And that is making other health conditions worse.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“So many folks in this area are really affected by chronic illness,” Townsend says, especially diabetes and high blood pressure. Because people were evacuated so quickly, many didn’t have time to grab medications.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Certainly in these settings their blood sugar and blood pressure are already rising just from the stress of the occasion,” Townsend said. “Without adequate supplies of their medicines, that can cause acute symptoms like feeling shaky, nausea, sometimes dehydration.”\u003c/p>\u003c/blockquote>\n\u003cp>People have also been worried about their pets. Some residents are being escorted back into evacuation zones to retrieve them.

The houses are down to foundations, even some chimneys are gone. Driving through the area is like looking at a ghost community. So much gone, so many ways of life disrupted, so much hardship remains for the people affected. In Middletown, you can draw a line where firefighters stopped the fire. They saved downtown. Anderson Springs is nearly 80% wiped out, same goes for the homes along Highway 175 in the canyon to Cobb. Hidden Valley suffered losses too, as did Hobergs and Adams Springs. I didn’t make it to Siegler Canyon, it was way too dangerous (but I did try).\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>We’re all journalists, we’ve all seen catastrophes and witnessed amazing, great things. If there is anything you can donate, especially for the children and seniors, now would be a good time.
